Not until 1943 was there opened an all-day high school;The Teacher's seminary was opened later, right around the time when this booklet was published, as there were very few other American branches at the time.In Eastern Europe the language of instruction in the movement was generally Yiddish, so that's why the instructions are given in that language.In 1933, Rabbi Yehudah Leib Orlean (1900-1943), a Gerer Hasid who had been among the founders of the workers’ movement of the Agudath Israel, Poalei Agudath Israel,replaced Sarah Schenirer as Director of the Krakow Teachers’ Seminary. The leadership thus shifted from a solitary woman to an organizational structure headedby men, with input from both German-speaking neo-Orthodox and Yiddish-speaking Eastern European Jews.In 1943, 143 South 8th Street (Which is the address on this pamphlet) became an early home of the Beth Jacob Teachers Seminary of America, serving as both a teachers’ academy and as a day and boarding high school for girls. After World War II, the building,which is a significant landmark in the development of South Williamsburg’s Jewish community, became a magnet for hundreds of young Holocaust survivors who sought to further their studies,” In March of 1943, the City sold it to Beth Jacob Teachers Seminary of America, which was then located at 505 Bedford Avenue.The Bais Yaakov, or Beth Jacob, educational movement was established in Krakow in 1917 by Sarah Schenirer. A seamstress who had educated herself in Jewish scripture and philosophy, Schenirer founded thefirst Bais Yaakov school seeking to “fight the spread of secularization and acculturation among Orthodox women - who until then had received no formal Jewish education.” By 1937, Bais Yaakov schools hadbeen established throughout Poland as well as in Czechoslovakia, Romania, and Lithuania, and teacher training seminaries were operating in Krakow and Czernowitz (now the Ukrainian city of Chernivtsi).In America in the mid-1930s, no schools above the elementary school level existed specifically for Orthodox girls. Williamsburg parents and religious leaders were concerned that their daughters were beingsecularized by the public schools, where they participated in “social activities that clashed with Orthodox proprieties.” The Beth Jacob Teachers Seminary of America, the first such school in the country,was founded in Williamsburg in 1938.The goal of the seminary, which also functioned as a high school for boarding and day students, was to supply teachers for a network of Bais Yaakovschools in the U.S. The first American Bais Yaakov school was established in Williamsburg; by 1945, others were open in Bensonhurst, Borough Park, Brownsville, East New York, and Brighton Beach.Condition Very nice condition, I noticed a couple small pen marks in side.
